We focus on the relative power of different adversaries, and show that, in contrast to the common wisdom in robust... Mind your Language (Model): Fact-Checking LLMs and their Role in NLP Research and Practice Much of the recent discourse within the NLP research community has been centered around Large Language Models (LLMs), their functionality and potential -- yet not only do we not have a working definition of LLMs, but much of this discourse relies on claims and assumptions that are worth re-examining... Glaze: Protecting Artists from Style Mimicry by Text-to-Image Models Recent text-to-image diffusion models such as MidJourney and Stable Diffusion threaten to displace many in the professional artist community. In particular, models can learn to mimic the artistic style of specific artists after "fine-tuning" on samples of their art. In this paper, we describe the...
